TFK International Business Travel Thread

I’m only here 6 hours but have already come to the conclusion that India and Indians are fucking nuts.

Etihad now have a live option on their TV options which meant I was able to see the France Switzerland match last night along with Lowrys collapse in the US Open which was nice.

The traffic is worse than Kilmallock on mart day.

In fairness to the Indians, they live in sweltering heat, the limerick fellas have no excuse.

On a plane of Indians earlier, the only people with a smell of BO off them were the air hostesses :open_mouth:

Raacist!!

Not at all. I’ve read Angela’s ashes.

Steady on

French ATC strike resulting in knock on delays into London City this morning. A lot of international business meetings are going to have to be rescheduled.

Any FS types looking to move their business to France need their head examined. The French just don’t get it.

Or they do. It’s us that don’t get it. If we weren’t so desperate to cut the french throats over FDI etc, maybe we wouldn’t cut our own at the same time.
Do you think on your deathbed that you’ll be sorry you didn’t spend more time at work.
The French have a beautiful country. They can feed and clothe and keep themselves warm. The rest of the world can go fuck. It’s admirable.

My employer (US multi) did a deal with a French vendor last year. Great piece of software but they’re dismayed at the lack of urgency with support issues.

9.30am - 5pm. 3pm finish on Fridays. No exceptions and you know what…the yanks got over it.

You have to admire them.

Meanwhile paddy continues to bow to these fellas… Answering emails long after the sun goes down.

Have they been through an August with them yet? You’ll be lucky to find anyone working there

They have it nailed. If we all did it we’d be better off.

When their public transport goes on strike, don’t they run a full service but just not charge for it? So Joe Soap is kept happy and the operators are mugged off. Proper order.

Either that or they lop everyone’s heads off.

The frogs in a lot of private sector industries working 35 hours a week is a myth. Plenty of them working long hours although trying to get anything out of them in August is obviously true. Stupid that they shut down for August and most of the younger ones anyway resent it due to the traffic and higher cost of everyone taking their holidays at the same fucking time.

Weren’t you calling for the LUAS drivers to be jailed less than a month ago?

If by jailed you mean do a fucking proper days work then yes.

Not in a live environment. Should be interesting.
